Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated locations. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can identify the breaks and once again access the house.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they won’t steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants go through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Since termites can’t detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is much reduced.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding result.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a swelling will make it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
